Shakti Activation 5-day Retreat

YOGA, MEDITATION AND SELF-CARE RETREAT

Mark your calendar and join me at Jakes in Treasure Beach, Jamaica

OCTOBER 24-29

I look forward with all my heart to welcoming you to Treasure Beach, my Om Away from Home in Jamaica, a very special place on the South Coast that I call my spiritual home.

This tiny little fishing village has been a part of me since I was in my early 20’s when I used to come down and help my amazing family friend Jason Henzell, along with his incredible parents Perry and Sally, build their dream and now world famous, Jakes Hotel that Conde Nast Traveler calls “A Treasure Beach institution, the family-run Jakes is more than a boutique hotel; it’s the heart and soul of the community.”

In 1995, when I started my aromatherapy company, Starfish Oils, I moved into Jakes (at that time it was just a couple of rooms) to spend time practicing Yoga as a newly certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher and creating my line of scented candles, soaps, and oils…the energy there was and still is so full of Shakti-that creative life force in all of us that longs to be free. It was a wonderful time and it was then that I committed to finding a place in Treasure Beach to call my own. Finally, 11 years ago, my dream came true and my hubby and I bought a sweet little 2 bedroom cottage a few minutes walk from Jakes, right on the water and named it Shakti Home in honor of my Shakti Yoga Center in Kingston. Its been 11 years of love and dedication to fix this little house up to a 3 bedroom beauty with a pool and yoga deck that is truly the beach house that you've been dreaming about. We will split our time during the retreat between Jakes with their funky rooms, gorgeous yoga deck and spa where you will stay and Shakti Home where will swim in the sea, have healing treatments and practice radical self-care.

What I want for you is what I would want for me on a retreat.

Not only do I want to share the best of Jamaica with you, but you will also have 5 life-changing days of twice daily Yoga Classes, one vigorous to get the blood flowing and the other, gentle and restorative with a long meditation. Delicious, clean, island food, wonderful spa treatments, bike rides, long hikes, boat rides, body scrubs on the beach and plenty of time in between to do absolutely nothing but curl up in a hammock or bask in the sun. I want you to experience to be just taken care of by people who understand how valuable it is to receive, to be nurtured, to be elevated. I want you to breathe, relax, let go and allow your life to flow. I want for you to leave this retreat feeling rested, rejuvenated and with your cup filled and overflowing with love.

I hope you will be able to give yourself this gift of just letting go and allowing yourself to just breathe and BE. It won't be a struggle, Treasure Beach has a way of magically speeding up the slowing down process, so you get to a state of being blissfully fully present really fast. It’s really wonderful to see how quickly you unwind here.

I want to share this magic with you. I hope you let me take you on this journey of self-discovery, right back to who you truly are.

Live Love,

Sharon

And that's exactly what you will get.

THE ROOMS

Garden View

Charming, alluring and decidedly unusual rooms were the first built at Jakes and began the craze for its funky beach style. Garden View rooms are close to the center of the action and brimming with unique charms. Each has its own private outdoor space.

Bungalow

OCEANFRONT BUNGALOW- Our bungalows bring inside the natural colors and textures of the world around them—the bright turquoise of the sea, the vibrant green of the palm trees, the patterned white-gold of the seashells. Just like you’re inside a seashell (but one that’s exquisitely comfortable)!

Closest Airport is Montego Bay and transit time is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes
